For most repair and maintenance work — adjusting doors, installing shelving, fixing timber frames — no builder's licence is required in the ACT. Licensed builder requirements apply to structural work, new construction, and renovation work over certain thresholds. If your job falls into that category, we'll tell you when you call.

Yes. Sticking doors are one of the most common jobs we handle across Canberra. We'll identify the cause — swollen timber, a shifted hinge, a frame that's moved — and fix it. Most door issues can be sorted in a single visit.

Yes. We install shelves into brick, plasterboard, and timber-framed walls. The fixing method changes depending on the wall type, but the result is the same — level, solid shelving that'll hold the weight it's supposed to.

It depends on the number of shelves, wall type, and whether you're supplying the shelves or need us to source them. We quote fixed prices on shelf installations — tell us the details and we'll give you a straight figure upfront.

For surface and frame-level rot, yes. We cut out the damaged section, treat the area, and replace it with matching timber. If the rot has reached load-bearing elements or structural framing, that goes beyond handyman scope and needs a licensed builder — and we'll tell you that before we start, not after.

Yes. Gate hardware, sticking gate frames, and fence paling repairs are all within scope. For fences with structural post issues — posts that have rotted at the base or shifted significantly — call us first and we'll assess whether it's within our scope or needs a builder.
